Be careful not to stay too long at the Valero gas station in Lancaster, California.
Video taken at the station has emerged showing a female attendant smashing up the truck of a male customer, reportedly because the man took too much time at the pump.
The owner of the vandalized truck, identified only as Ray, said he was shocked and feared for his own safety, CBS Los Angeles reported.
In cellphone footage taken by a woman at the station, the attendant is seen standing in front of the truck and counting before taking the bat and smashing a tail light.

Angry: Video taken at the Valero gas station in Lancaster, California, shows a female attendant smashing up the truck of a male customer with a bat after he refused to move the car
+6
The altercation took place Tuesday afternoon at a Valero station at Fifth Street East and East Avenue K
The woman can be heard yelling in the clip: 'I told you to move.'
'Go right now,' she appears to say to the motorist. 'I told you to go. I told you two times.'
Ray can be heard saying: 'I have not done anything illegal.'
Police were called to the scene and arrested the woman on suspicion of vandalism.
Ray told CBS that he was sitting in his truck on the phone after filling up his tank and lost track of time. He said that he was sitting there for about an hour.
The video was posted to Facebook on May 16 by the woman who took it, Monet Dansereau.

Scene: The altercation took place Tuesday afternoon at a Valero station at Fifth Street East and East Avenue K
'I told you to move and you do not move,' the woman can be heard saying.
'The customer is not right.'
In the video, which goes for just over one minute, the woman hits the car six times with some kind of bat. Strangely, Ray does not attempt to stop her.
A CBS reporter went to the gas station on Wednesday night and said the woman appeared to be working behind the counter.
shouldn't have hit the truck, I'm in the "should have called the police camp". As for him; I've witnessed jackazzes such as this. What he effectively did was inconvenience other drivers who need gas and lose business for the owner.

Right, but if that is not against the law, then the employee is at fault.

Sure, legal wise she is.

An hour at the pump? Another entitled jerk. That sets off normal people, lol. However, the business should have asked him to leave and if he didn't move, then they should have called the cops.
A sign stating a time limit and being towed at the owners expense would be all it takes.

She should have called the called. She told him to move and he didn't. At that point he's trespassing.
Who are they?
Ok. I just thought of gas station angels.
